Hotel Emelisse details

Sculpted into a hillside with dramatic views over to Ithaca, this cutting-edge retreat is a real style icon.

The Emelisse deserves a medal for its location. Carved into a hillside rising from the sea, it’s just a couple of kilometres from the harbourside tavernas of Fiskardo. There’s a pretty pebbly bay just around the corner, too. And because its buildings are stepped into the hillside, it’s immersed in views across the Ionian to Ithaca.

The main building and pool lie on the lowest terrace, so they’ve got the best outlook. The pool itself is split-level, with its upper part merging infinity-style into the sea. Around the water, you’ll find rows of wooden sunloungers, as well as bar terraces where you can sink into cushioned sofas. And in the evenings, the whole scene is given an extra magic by hundreds of glowing candles and lanterns set out on the terraces.

These designer touches are given free rein inside. In the lobby for instance, plump sofas and low bamboo tables take centre-stage. The rooms, meanwhile, are minimalist through and through. Cue teak canopy beds, sleek wood and neutral tones, accessorised with satellite TVs and balconies or terraces. What’s more, a few of the junior suites feature private pools shared by just a handful of guests, plus extra luxuries like CD and DVD players.

In the culinary department, you’ve got the main Votsalo restaurant serving Greek and Mediterranean dishes on the pool terrace. Last, but not least, there’s the Kinema terrace, overlooking an infinity pool. This evening number focuses on Greek grilled cuisine and freshly made pizzas, it is ringed with flickering candles at night. You can even watch outdoor movies here on summer evenings - the perfect complement to the cinematic views.
